“He is still alive; he has only lost his consciousness,” King of Swords said.

Su Li nodded in response. “I know.”

The King of Swords said nothing else and promptly turned around and left.

Curisa immediately followed him, but he kept turning around to look back with every few steps he took. As they kept walking further away, Curisa felt a little apprehensive. He turned to the King of Swords, and said, “King, I hope our Holy Lord has not fallen for him again. If she does, her cultivation level will reduce by half. What are we going to do if the Great Archenemy suddenly turns up now, as predicted by Granny Witch?”

The King of Swords suddenly stopped walking—he was stunned by Curisa’s words, and it made him turn around to look at the couple. Then, the King of Swords turned his head back and continued to walk on. He did not answer Curisa’s question.

…

Su Li used her psychokinesis power to remove the four long swords that pinned Xiao Luo down.

Xiao Luo regained consciousness and was free to move again. He looked up at the woman he had longed for, and the fierce aura emanating from his body slowly dissipated. White smoke rose from the surface of his body, giving off sizzling sounds.

Wisps of smoke rose from his entire body like steam rising in a hot bathhouse. When the smoke finally dispersed, Xiao Luo once again returned to his original human form.

The injuries on his body had healed, leaving no scars, but his clothes were torn and tattered and looked like a beggar’s outfit.

Through the power of Dragon Saber in his hands, Xiao Luo had the ability to stabilize his mind and control his body. But he chose not to. He preferred to let the rage in his heart take control of his body, and in doing so, he vented all his anger.

Still lying exhausted on the ground, he looked at Su Li, and a smile slowly formed at one corner of his lips as he said, “You have become a lot prettier. You look like a Goddess from Heaven beyond anyone’s reach.”

“I made them stop you. Why did you not just retreat?” Su Li responded calmly.

Her lack of emotions was like a knife piercing into Xiao Luo’s heart. He already knew that it would be an outcome he had to expect, but he refused to come to terms with reality. She had recovered her memories and achieved a higher cultivation level. As the Lord of Arcana Land, she was in a powerful position and honored by her people. The difference between them was as vast as the distance between Heaven to Earth.

Their past together faded like a puff of smoke and vanished with the wind.

Had all the things that they went through been fake? Was the relationship between them so fragile?

Xiao Luo closed his eyes in pain, and said, “Why should I retreat? I came to Arcana Land and traveled thousands of kilometers to bring you home.”

Somehow, the sentence felt so inadequate and ineffective.

“I am already home.”

Su Li’s words were firm, and she added, “This… This is my home.”

They have gone from being lovers to strangers. It was a cruel way to end their relationship. Filled with despair, Xiao Luo felt an unbearable pain in his chest. It was as if his heart was dying. He did not even care if anyone was manipulating the system anymore. He used up 100,000 points for the system’s healing ability, and instantly his body recovered to its best condition.

“Is that so?”

He stood up, laughing at himself, and replied, “I guess I am just troubling you then.”

He dragged himself up, like he bore a heavy load, then struggled as he turned around. And with each step, he walked further away from Su Li.

Though his body appeared fine, despair made each step he took seem heavy.

“Urrgh!”

A mouthful of blood rushed up to his throat and spurted out of his mouth. Xiao Luo knelt on one knee. His face turned pale, but he stood up and continued walking.

Tears rolled down the corners of Su Li’s eyes as she watched Xiao Luo walk further away from her. She could sense that he felt hurt and depressed. Her deep love for him, which she so casually discarded, seemed to resurface. She placed her hand on her aching chest and turned around to avoid seeing the forlorn figure walk away from her. She was afraid she would fall for him again.

“I am sorry, Xiao Luo!”

She knew, in her heart, just how much she wanted to run over to him and hug him. But she could not do that. She was the Lord of Arcana Land. She had to shoulder the burden of thousands of spirits here. A formidable enemy was coming, and there was no way she could abandon her people.

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the sky. The sound got increasingly louder, and it became vividly clear.

Looking up, it turned out to be a fighter jet from the Original World. It had passed through the barrier of space and arrived at Arcana Land. It seemed to face an engine malfunction. Thick smoke billowed, and the jet smashed into a forest, some distance away on the outskirts of Santa Maria.

BOOM!

There was a loud explosion after the crash. A fiery burst of flames rose into the air from the crash site. A thick cloud of smoke mushroomed up into the air from the burning inferno and flames spread out to its surrounding.

The entire Santa Maria was in a state of panic.

The tremor was even felt in the Holy Land of the Light Clan, and everyone was in a state of anxiety.

“What was that?”

“Was it a gigantic bird? But why would there be an explosion when a giant bird falls onto the ground?”

“What is going on? What in the world is going on?”

“Quickly look! There seems to be another world in the sky over there.”

“Did the giant bird which just crashed come from the other world?”

Everyone started speculating. Someone noticed that the sky in the distance looked a little distorted. Another world seemed to exist beyond that region of the sky. The other world was in shambles, with smoke and collapsed buildings everywhere. It looked like it was in the middle of a chaotic war. The sky over the other world looked muddy and blurry.

The sight of the Original World stunned Su Li.

Xiao Luo had walked quite a distance by now, and he looked up in surprise as well. He stared blankly at the world that appeared like a mirage. Others may not be aware of it, but there was no way he could not recognize the place he saw—it was the Original World. But why was the Original World in such a condition? Why were there flames and smoke all over the place?

Did the Third World War occur?

He had only left for about two months. How could the Third World War have triggered just like that? And how in the world did it appear in Arcana Land?

If fighter jets could fly into Arcana Land from the Original World, it would mean that the Chaos Dimension had been breached. Matter could travel between both worlds with no obstruction. What in the world happened? Were the two worlds about to overlap one another?

Countless questions ran through his mind. For a brief moment, Xiao Luo stood frozen with his mouth wide open and in a state of confusion.

“It cannot be…”

Su Li knitted her brows. She flew up into the sky and headed toward the mirage-like Original World.

The King of Swords flew up as well and followed behind her.

“Hurry! Use the recovery pill. Something does not look right.”

The King of Thunder asked for the bottle of pills from his assistant and instantly took one before throwing the bottle over to King of War.

“I do not need it,” said the King of Blades.

He did not use his full strength when fighting Xiao Luo, and his overall condition was still pretty good. He flew out of the Holy Land of the Light Clan and headed toward the illusory Original World.

King of War took about five to six recovery pills at once, then said, “Looks like there is going to be another fight. Haha, haha…”

He looked up with excitement at the sky, then soared right behind King of Blades.

“You idiotic fool. You only have to take one pill. What a f*cking waste,” the King of Thunder swore as he launched himself into the sky as well. But something seemed strange. He was afraid that this time, it might be the Great Archenemy.
